Annual Message of the Mayor—-The Con Aition Os the City, Financially and Ot lreiWioe. Mayor May of Augusta read his annual message before the City Council on the morn ing of the 6th inst. It is an able document, and its exhibit ol the present condition and prospects of our sister city cannot fail to be interesting to our readers. The following paragraph relates to Thk Finances of the Citt A brief retrospective glance at our finan ces may prove interesting to ns now, and be of use to us in our future. With our present situation you are familiar, as it is before you, but aliusiou to it cannot be without interest to the public, who do not generally avail themselves of all accessible sources of infor mation to tiie same extent as do those to vhose hands they commit the management of their affairs. The financial condition of the City Coun cil, hi fore the close of tile war, was good. tVe bad, in what then were considered as assets ol value, a sufficiency to meet all of our engagements,and to carry on the munic ipal government without burdening the people by taxation to any considerable ex nt, for a lengthy period. We had a sink ing fund, in what was known as Confederate Bonds and currency, of over two hundred and fifteen thuusano dollais; and there was in the Treasury as a general luud, in similar bonds and currency, more than one hundred and forty thousand dollars. The bonds of the city, due on the Ist of May of the pres ent year, amounted to eighty thousand dol lars, ami the amount of interest owing by us uu tiie Ist of April previous, was one hundred thousand dollars. Thus, in round numbers, our resources were upwards of three hun dred and fifty thousand dollars, with which to meet liabilities ol one hundred and eighty thousand dollars. During the war, the Legislature authorized us to issue cintnge biirs to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. Os these old bills there cannot be many out at this period ; as large amounts of them have been absorbed in taxation, and very many of them have been redeemed by the certificates of indebtedness lately issued by ttie city. The war ceased, and the assets of the City Council became utterly worthless. The financial collapse was so sudden and so un expected, that no preparation conld be made to avoid its consequences. We were, therefore, lett, as all other Southern com munities were lelt, without any means with which to carry on our operations. It takes time to raise money from taxation, even w hen the people are possessed of money, but when, as was the case with our people, they have none, it is necessary to devise some expedient by which to continue the government and provide for the expenses. Our only resource was the issue of certifi cates of indebtedness by the city ; of these there have been put in circulation,. from the beginning, about oue hundred and thirty tie.maud dollars. Large amounts, however, have been paid back to U3 by taxation, leav ing. probably, at this time iu the bauds of the people, not more than seventy thousand dollars. The amount of our iudebledues in bond* past due and coupons for interest on bonds is not over eighty thousand dollars. Tne immediate debt ot the City is about one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in cluding bonds past due aud coupons just mentioned. The unpaid taxes will amouut to this sum at least. It will thus be seen that our inconven ience can only be temporary, and results from the sudden and utter worthlessness of our assets in the Treasury, With a little time to recover from the shock, we shall re sume at least, our usual condition. As far as the bonded debt of the city is concerned, Uieie need not be felt the slightest appre hension. The City of Augusta has ample properly for the discharge of every dollar of tier liabilities, if that property was put upon the market even in the present unex ampled state of depression. Her people en tertain no idea ot repudiation ; they have always maintained tier fair lame iu all finan cial matters, aud that lame will not be suf tered to be tarnished by the present genera tion. For some time to come, the rate of taxa tion cannot safely be reduced. There are certain expendituies which must be sus tained under any system ot municipal gov ernment, and these expenditures cannot be provided tor in any other mode than bj' tax ation. But one thing should not be lurgot tou—that in all our calculations we must look to the most rigid economy ; we must aid our people in their earnest efforts to re store our 'olden, prosperity ; we must eu; courage and assist the development of new branches ot industry : we must act officially tu relation to outfay, ns we would act in dividually. Many of our people have sus tained great losses and privations, and though they niauitest a cheerful spirit and determination to retrieve the disasters ot the past, yet they wilFexpcct us to relieve the pressure upon them to the utmost of our ability. The Mayor goes on to speak of the con dition of the various municipal'institutions— the police, the streets, the jail, etc. He makes the following remarks upon the sub ject of ' CHABITT. The subject of charity must continue in the future, io demand Bom us, as it has de manded in the past, an attentive considera tion. I can say, with a lceiiug of pride that the poor of no city with which 1 urn acquain ted, have been better taken care of, ot been the recipients of greater kindness, than the poor of Augusta. This fact is eieditable to our councils, and redounds to the honor of our people of means, who have not withheld the helping hand in the hour of distress. The Augusta Purveying Store is .now is suing rations weekly to live hundred families, lumbers o! these, in a short time, when the demand for labor increases, and the currency ot the country attains a more general circu lation, will be enabled to sustain them selves, but at present they require our assis tance, and they must have it. To take care ol the poor, in a proper manner, will require, in my esdtuation, an outlay of one thousand dollars per mouth. Ot the advantage of the Purveying store, I need here say nothing. Its workings are familiar to you and to our citizens, who have watched them, with a critical eye. from its inception to the present day. You and they have behold it at all times, aud know its value. I lrazaid nothing in saying that no other plan than the one upon which it has been, and is conducted, could have accom plished one half the goodthathas been done, and I trust the institution will not be allowed to languish for want ot a generous support.. TAX OS COITUS. I recommend that, alter the 10th instant, the tax of ono dollar per bale on cotton brought to the city he rescinded. It is our policy, aud should continue to be so, to en courage the bringing to our city of all the products of thecouutry which can be brought here, and to luster all enterprises which promise to advance our prosperity. The im position ol the tax stated doubtless prevents much cotton from being brought to our mer chants and warehousemen. The tax should be collected on such cotton as is now in the city, or has been stored in the city at any period since the Ordinance was passed. It. is highly expedient to abolish a restriction upon the legitimate trade and commerce of the city. The stock ol cotton now on band should be ascertained and the tax collected upon that and upon all cotton stored iu the city since the passage of the Ordinance. I also recommend that tbe Ordinance referred to, be so amended as to impose a double tax upon ali parties who have failed or refused to comply with its provisions. THE MILITARY. As the Chief Magistrate of the city, 1 have been in frequent communication, personal and written with the various officers of the military forces of the United States who have been located in our midsl, and I can bear cheerful testimony to their unitorm ur banity and consideration. They generally seem to have been actuated bj’ an earnest desire to perform the arduous duties belong ing to their positions in a manner calculated to give our citizens the slightest possible an noyance, and I believe the intelligent senti ment of the entire community will bear me out in the declaiation. The commander of the State, Gen. Steedman, has won the good opinion of all, by his frankness, and the de termination which he has, on all occasions, evinced to discharge the duties he owed to the Government with a proper respect for the position ot our people. The officers in the subordinate departments have likewise mani fested a commendable spirit. In concluding his message, Mayor May announces his determination of retiring from the Mayoralty of Augusta with the expira tion of the present term, and says : We have passed through more than lour years of terrible trial. Every nerve has been strung with suffering, every eye has been moistened with tears. Tile period of inles line danger and convulsion has passed away, and, I mist in God, forever. We can now come together, and while we give a back ward glance at tbe path marked hy our sor rows, we can form new aud peaceful resolu tions for the coming days. Those days we can make days of cheer. We have a glo rious laud, as yet but partially developed iu its magnificent resources- We have waim hearts among us, whose every pulsation is for the happiness and prosperity ot our whole people. We have energy and perseverance that need but to be exerted to deliver us from the thrall of despondency, and crown us with success. We have all that is needed to make a people prosperous and happy ; and woe be unto us if we fail in our mission.— Let us not brood over our losses, but rather profit by ihe experience of the past. Let us trust to time to heal the gaping wounds which war has made, aud to our own exer tions to retrieve our disasters. So shall we gain the approbation of our own consciences, the willing acknowledgment of our worth by the world, and the blessing of Divine Providence. Tike Yancey« Hill Difficulty. The Montgomery Mail has given the par ticulars of this difficulty, from which it ap pears that the correspondent of the Nash ville Banner romances considerably.— The facts of the case are as follows, says the Mail: Mr. Yancey and Mr. Hill did have a diffi culty in the Confederate Senate, not, how ever, upon a discussion of the Navy bill, but of the Supreme Court bill. Mr. Y. had spoken ; Mr. Hili in reply reviewed Mr. Y T ’s record iu a styie which was regarded as of fensive by Senators. Mr. Y. arose when Mr. H. had taken his seat, and remarked that as other Senators desired to speak on the ques tion, he would not consume the time of the Senate then, but that, at a proper time, he would endeavor to do justice, both to the Senator from Georgia, and to himself. He desired only to say, then, that the assertions of the Senator from Georgia, in regard to what he was pleased to term his autobio graphy, were false, and he knew them to be false when he made them. Mr. Hill responded, quickly, from his seat, that he threw the ialsehood back in his face. Upon motion, the Senate went into secret session. Mr. Yancey then ap pealed to adjust the matter, but reiterated what he said aud took his seat. Thereupon Sir. Hill, unexpectedly to Mr. Yancey, or any one else, threw a heavy glass ink-stand, which struck Mr. Yon the side of his face, bruising it, and causing the blood to flow profusely, but not knocking him down, or doing any serious injury. Mr. Y'ancey then rushed at Mr. Hill, but was prevented from striking him, and here the fight ended. A committee was appointed, and retired, to report what was due the Senate for a breach of decorum. Whilst they were out, various speeches were made to reconcile the parties. Mr. Y T ancey was, for a long time, inexorable, but when appeals were made to. him as to the effect such a rupture would .have upon the cause, he was disposed to yield to the importunities of friends. To ag gmvate.tlie matter, the committee reported, censuring both parties—Mr. Yancey lor the language he bad used, aud Mr Hill for throwing the ink-stand. Mr. Y 7 ancey protested against the report to the last; but it was finally accepted by the Senate, and was afterwards reconsidered and withdrawn, upon condition that he would not prosecute bis claim for personal redress any further, he reserving to himself the right to reply to Mr. Hill’s speech in public, which he afterwards did, in a pow erful and overwhelming effort. The Senate was engaged from about noon till midnight in the settlement of the affair. In regard to the cause of Mr. Yancey's death, this was, according to the same authority, from inflammation of the ltid neys—a disease to which he had been pre disposed, and even a martyr for many years. During his last illness bis pains were excru ciating, but were borne with Christian res ignation. At times, during bis delirium, be broke forth into eloquent impassioned speeches in regard to those political themes which were ever dear to his heart. He died loyal to his convictions, forgiving his ene mies, and committing his soul to the mercies ol God. • The story of the jNashville correspondent is false in every particular. Perilous Feat oe a Gymnasi.— The cele brated gymnast, Leslie, who has out-Blon ained Bloudin at Niagara Fails, has added a new leaf to his laurels. On Saturday even ing last, he gave us a wonderful exhibition of indomitable pluck and nerve, in liis daring serial feats. The fearless manner in which he sprang from the car of Prof. Lowe s bal loon, during a detached ascension, at au altitude of two thousand feet, and dangled at the end of a forty foot rope attached to the car, has never been equalled. As the balloon ascended higher and higher, he attempted teats all the more daring and reckless. Mr. Leslie is a man of quiet manners, and very gentlemanly in appearance and bearing. As we have no desire to see so plucky a than become a sacrifice to his own daring, we ad vise him to never attempt again so foolhardy an undertaking as that of Saturday evening last. Let him rest on his laurels, at least until someone equally as daring as himself has surpassed his marvellous leat.—A 7 . Y. Turf, field fr Farm. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1865.

The INo. Carolina Convent ion' THE ELECTION ORDERED FOR THE 9th OF NOVEMBER. Etc., Etc., Etc. —By the arrival ol the U. S. Transpo steamship Empire City, Alexander, at Hilton Head, yesterday, we receive N. Y. papers of the ‘Jth inst. The Empire City also brought the America's mail, which was transferred from that steamer on bei being disabled and compelled to put back to New York- The following is the news contained in the papers of the Bth and 9th : In the Episcopal Convention in Philadel phia on Saturday, the House of Bishops sent into the House ol Delegates a message an nouncing that they imd agreed to regard Bishop Wilmer ot Alabama, as the regular ecclesiaslieal presiding officer of that diocese, overlooking the irregularities by which he was elected aud consecrated, but with the understanding that his case should not he considered a precedent. Bishop Wilmer presided over the Alabama Diocese during the WTD. Hence the allusion to “irregulari ties.” Considerable other business ol a routine character was transacted, but nothing of general inti rest. The Westliche Post, the Radical Gerruuu organ ot Si. LouD, is authorized to say that President Johnson did not say to Governor Fletcher of Missouri, iu a recent conversa lion, as has been alleged, “This is a white mans country, and by God, while lam Presi dent, it shall be a White man’s Government.” j The report is incorrect, aud it was not Gov. j Fletcher who authorized the papers to pub lish it. As far as Gov. Fletcher remembers, | President Johnson used about the following words : “I am iu iavor of the white man ;' or, “I belong to the white man’s party.' The latest from Mexico is to the effect that the Republicans were conhdeut of the early arrival from the United States of material as sislauce for Juarez, when a vigorous assault was to be made upon the Imperialists who would be, without question, compelled to give up both Monterey and Matamoras. Election returns from Mississippi no longer leave a doubt as to the election of General Humphreys, as Governor of the State. It is I thought by many that Gov. Sharkey’s opiu | ion ihat the action ot the State Convention eotiferr«dou negroes the right of giving tes timony in courts of justice, will defeat him fur the Uuited States Senate. On Saturday, the application for an injunc tion by Miss Laura lieene to restrain Mr. Stuart, Mauager of the Winter Garden, and Mr. J. S. Clarke, the comedian, from play ing the celebrated piece entitled “Our Ameri can Cousin,” was argued before Judge Mon crief in the Superior Court. The Judge per emptorily refused to grant any injunction, as in his opinion there was no possible ground for claiming oue. Gen. Connor has issued a circular announc ing war to the knife against the Indians. The officers commanding the expedition are or dered not to leave a trail, when once struck, until they have overtaken aud punished the savages ; and, to accomplish this, the com mand will be supplied with an extra amount of salt with which to preserve game for sub sistence, after the regular rations may be ex hausted. Mr. J. Stellifer Moulton, the New York correspondent of the Boston Traveller, was turned over by Justice Dodge on Saturday afternoou to the Commissioners of Charities and Correction, to be committed to tbe Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Moulton styles him self “Stellifer, the King, Reigning Prince of the House of David, and Guardian of American Destiny.” The Kentucky Delegation, headed by the Hon. Garrett Davis, obtained an interview with the President on Saturday morning, and urged the removal of Gen. Palmer with much earnestness. The President, it is said, has referred the whole matter to General Thomas for investigation, and declines to interfere until that officer makes a report upon the subject. The North Carolina Convention on the Bth accomplished another important portion of the work for which it assembled, by passing unanimously, the ordinance forever hereafter prohibiting the existence ol slavery withiu the State. Au ordinance was also passed, appointing the 9th of next mouth as the time tor an election for Governor aud members of Congress and the Legislature. The Legisla ture wili meet on the 19th of November. HEADQ’RS DEPT OF GEORGIA, Office-of the Provost Marshal ) General, /■ Augusta, Ga., Oct Ist, 1865.) Pro. Mar.
